The hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will be suspended once the current search area in the Indian Ocean has been completely scoured, the ministers of the three countries conducting the operation announced Friday, possibly ending all hopes of solving aviation's greatest mystery. In the absence of new evidence, Malaysia, Australia, and China have collectively decided to suspend the search upon completion of the 120,000-square-kilometer (46,300-square-mile) search area," Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said after a meeting with his Australian and Chinese counterparts, the AP reports. He said the current search is being hampered by bad weather and damaged equipment, but it will still end by December.

The minister said suspension of the search does not mean an end to it. "Should credible new information emerge which can be used to identify the specific location of the aircraft, consideration will be given in determining next steps," he said, reading from a joint statement. But it was clear that the searchers have given up hope of finding the jetliner with less than 3,900 square miles left to be searched. In their statement, the ministers acknowledged that "the likelihood of finding the aircraft is fading." As Liow and the other two ministers were addressing the news conference, representatives of the passengers' families stood outside the building holding placards. "Find the plane, ease our pain," read one sign. (The search may have been in the wrong place.)

Jesus quit worrying, this aircraft will land in Australia in mid -August. Each and every passenger will speak 38 languages, be able chew through an 18" tree trunk with ease, exceed 7 feet in height, possess the ability to breathe under water and crush coconuts between their thighs. Dibs on the Russian chicks.

The great satellite arch stretched from the southern Indian Ocean all the way north into Cambodia,Thailand, Myanmar, etc. I'm saying CUPO (Cambodia until proven otherwise). My CUPO theory runs in line with the Chinese Moslem activists Uyghurs. They got to the pilots, one who had created a special simulator in his home to practice the procedure. I believe the copilot also practiced the maneuvers they did to create the utter confusion and enable shutting down of all tracking systems including the position reporting systems. There was a climb to maximum operating altitude going south. Then a descent to well below radar sweeps. At that time, I believe they flew at a considerably low altitude of something like 400 feet to stay below the radar of commercial shipping traffic. They headed north to Cambodia and landed in the north possibly near Laos at an old Air America base from the VN war era. They took all of the Chinese hostage and are holding the rest of the passengers in a comfortable camp, offered a nice existence as long as they cooperate. The Chinese hostages are being treated fairly bad yet fed. They will die off eventually and we may learn the truth some day. Now for those pieces of debris, easy. You tear bits and pieces of the plane off and fly them to the southern Indian ocean and toss them out. https://www.google.com/maps/@17.987176,102.5701609,2974m/data=!3m1!1e3 Fly in at dark-40, unload the passengers, take them off to a hidden camp in the Phou Khao Khouay mountains. Or, do you land them here out in BFE. A super, super secret CIA facility still operated by the CIA until the breaking up of USSR. Sorry, not street view here. Now isn't that road design suspiciously like a hidden airport??? https://www.google.com/maps/@18.0140108,102.7534992,1935m/data=!3m1!1e3

I won't be surprised if we see a new reality show based on some group trying to find it with their own expedition. Once they found and identified some of the debris from the plane, we all knew everyone on it was deceased. Let them lie in rest.
